Received over the last few days- the Maurice Bull 7th Edition reference book will be helpful and the Michael Day book makes for a nice narrative and history of the English Silver Crown- these purchased at the York Coin Fair. 

Thanks @DuncanWylieWilson for the belated post of the Southern Rhodesia Crown, I actually received it several weeks ago and put it down ‘somewhere safe’ shortly after receiving it- found in the biscuit cupboard 🙄 
Also thank you @PapaLazarou for the Piedfort Prince Phillip Crown- he looks extremely distinguished in this portrait, and thanks to the Capt’n @CaptCaveMan for the Sovereign trade- and the Jubilee/ Anniversary Crowns from an antique shop and eBay.

2 oz. Gold Henry VII has just landed…think it will look even better as it becomes part of a set…

10oz completer and a huge thanks to @PapaLazaroufor the referral code for the free brit 👍

Growing on me... I think 😊

Flawless ms69 early strike 2014 age through the door yesterday, such a awesome deal from a member it would  of been rude to not add to my stack,
thanks again @Charverdude

My goal…
This hoard …to work on pricing up… 
Other than the obvious Gothic Crown (I assume is a steal at £1000?). I am not sure where the date is on this though? Assume it’s a 1947? 
 
I am interested in pricing up these 1797 chunky coins though, they are real lumps! 




















Thoughts welcome.  

Check this baby out!
Have had for a week now. Think I may put up for sale on the forum soon, see if interest. Only 52 on the face of the earth! And it celebrates some that has never happened before a 70th year Jubilee!
3oz of Platinum… a cracker!! 

Had a result today with the silver maples from an antique dealer at £20 each and the Queen Victoria silver medal from my local bullion dealer was a decent price as well. 

A tube of type 1 eagles to replace the tube I just sold 🤷‍♂️ and a 10oz una bar.

@Chrispringle85as always an awsome purchase my friend
Having the 2 mexican coins made into rings 😀

nice arrival this morning.... 

Got this for @BullionBob
always been Partial to these! 🦁 

A bit of joy back from NGC~ after multiple attempts at selecting and sending in raw coins, finally an MS70 QB gold 1/4 Horse of Hanover.  This one completes my set of all ten original QB bullion quarters in MS70. And a 69 as a worthy runner up! 

Silver Henry VII  a nice coin after all hehe
 

1983 Olympics Silver Dollar

Latest batch of coins back from grading (thanks once again Louise - Coins of the Realm).  Particularly pleased with the results on the Prince George 5th Birthday SOTD x 2.  A rare coin this one and nice to have two with a top grade.
 
 

Received it yesterday, but found now time to upload. Really nice 2000 Sov, thanks to @Bucky
i also got a Carson 10x and tried to experiment photos using it..:) 

I’ve waited an age for these two eBay auction bargains to land.
The slabs look older than the coins! And are so badly scuffed and scratched that it was difficult to get photos of the lovely coins they entomb.   The one holding the 1960 New York Exhibition Crown is almost opaque.




 

That’s  a beautiful coin- Looks like it’s a couple of hundred years old in the photos in that lighting.
A tiny flaw- nothing’s perfect in this world- if you like it- keep it 👍

Visited York Coin Fair today.  Not a scrap of Silver bought, but I did buy a wonderful example of the 1953 Coronation Set.  Nice Cameo on the Cupronickel and the Bronze coins, are delightful, particularly the Farthing .  

 

Received these three lovely Crowns. Thanks @Iacabu for the ‘Restoration of the Monarchy’ £5.  That’s the first tray in my modern cabinet filled with both £5’s and a dozen Piedfort £5’s. 
Three different Portraits here, I’m always surprised that the IRB Portrait endured for so long.   In my opinion it’s neither a flattering depiction nor is it distinguished- and unfortunately spanned the releases of some very special Sovereign releases.
